Fury as play park daffodils cut down over fears children might eat them

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A council has stopped planting new daffodils in a play park over fears children might eat them, with members of the community branding the decision ''totally bonkers".

St Blaise Council was accused of cutting down the spring-time plants at Old Roselyon Play Area in St Blazey for health and safety reasons, as they can be toxic if ingested.

However, after pictures were taken by residents of the ripped up flowers, the council denies removing any of the daffodils, according to Cornwall Live.

The local authority has not yet stated whether it has contacted the police over the act of vandalism.However the town council has confirmed it will no longer plant new daffodil bulbs for the foreseeable future because they are poisonous if people eat them.Only last month, when Cornwall basked in glorious spring sunshine, the park looked beautiful in yellow and white as the daffodils bloomed.
